Friends: 0 | Re: Radiator and inverter A/F the same system? Two independent loops. The lower third of the main radiator is a dedicated section for the inverter, even though it's physically part of the same unit. . _H* |

Friends: 14 | Re: Radiator and inverter A/F the same system? Mr. K, for the inverter loop there is a bolt under the transaxle. It is possible to mistake it for the transaxle fluid drain bolt, so don't do that. Reservoir cap off for draining, also. Engine coolant is drained by a radiator valve, and another on the engine that you'll never find unless somebody tells you where it is.  |

Friends: 0 | Re: Radiator and inverter A/F the same system? My Prius Chilton's repeatedly refers to the Inverter coolant as the Transaxle coolant. Not sure which its cooling more as it does both and then is routed into the bottom of the radiator like most automatic transmissions.That should make you even more confused. |
